Thoth (pronounced: /θoʊθ/ thoth[2]) was the scribe and historian of the Mulhorandi pantheon. Also known by the names Tholaunt in Thay and Thalatos in Unther, Thoth was an intellectual deity known for academic debate and innovation.[6]

Thoth and Oghma were engaged in friendly competition to determine who could gain the most followers in the nation of Unther.[6]

During the Second Sundering, Thoth and other deities from the pantheon returned in the form of demigods and led the Mulhorandi uprising against the Imaskari, in a manner similar to how the Chosen manifested in other regions. As of 1489 DR, Mulhorand was led by the returned pantheon, who temporarily set their differences aside for the good of the Mulhorandi people.[4]

Thoth used arcane and divine spells with equal ease, and always cast spells deftly and efficiently. Thoth's Staff of Office was both a powerful artifact and a repository of ancient magic Thoth could draw upon. Thoth possessed the ability to fly at will and could negate magical effects as he chose. He could control any constructs in his vicinity, and those struck by his staff faced instant death.[6]

Clergy in the church of Thoth were typically Mulan belonging to the House of Tholaunt, a house composed of mortal descendants of incarnations of Thoth himself. These individuals devoted much of their time to continual research and study, as well as spreading the knowledge obtained in this way to the people of Mulhorand.[6]

The center of the church of Thoth was the Arcanum of Magic, located in the city of Gheldaneth. Temples dedicated to Thoth typically served as the libraries and centers of learning of Mulhorand. These structures often incorporated and showcased grand feats of engineering and foreign knowledge in their design.[6]

Worship of Thoth was most common among the scribes and historians of Mulhorand, but could also be found in the nations of Unther and and Murghom.[6]

Clergy of the church of Thoth typically wore linen skirts or robes and sandals. Their shaven heads bore the concentric blue circles that signified their calling, and they carried writing utensils and parchment with them at all times. When preparing for combat, clergy of Thoth equipped themselves appropriately for the situation but avoided armor and selected simple weapons whenever possible.[6]
